OK, that was the prediction. Now, how accurate was it? Please update.

All of these apps and personal assets (laptops, mobile devices, etc.) constitute a blended environment. How does business protect its assets when an employee, subcontractor, or anyone, can compromise the environment with devices that bridge, and that can harbor faulty security protections? Policy has to be watertight, obviously, and there has to be education. I'd be curious to know if anyone else here is reading “I.T. WARS”? I had to read parts of this book as part of my employee orientation at a new job. The book talks about a whole new culture as being necessary – an eCulture – for a true understanding of security, being that most data breaches and system outages are due to simple human error. It has great chapters on security, as well as risk, content management, project management, acceptable use, policies, and so on. Just Google “IT WARS” – check out a couple links down and read the interview with the author David Scott. (Full title is “I.T. WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium”).
